We are heading out for the Carnival Sunshine Foodie Trip

I am so excited to announce that we are heading out for the Carnival Sunshine Foodie Trip!

This will be our first time on the Carnival Sunshine and we are sooooo excited! We have heard nothing but great things about this ship! Some of our favorite cruising friends the Rebel Chick and Mommy Musing were on the Carnival Sunshine in the Mediterranean last year and told us it is amazing!

Our trip is all about food! We will be checking out the specialty dining restaurants on board along with the casual eateries! I can’t wait to check out the shake shop for an adult milkshake…hello yum!

I am already dreaming of a Iguana Cantina breakfast burrito! That will be one of the first things I get when we get on the ship. John is excited for a Guy’s Burger!

During the trip we will visit Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico along with Roatan and Belize. This will be our first time visiting Costa Maya.
